Currently i am giving my girls 2tsp Tiger Bloom, 1tblsp Big Bloom, 1tblsp molasses, and 1tsp CalMAg every 6th day in a gallon of water. Today they are on day 34 12/12 and they are 55-60 day plants. I want to use shooting powder but i dont have a ppm meter and i have no idea what to do:neutral: Anyone out there have any experience? Heres a pic of a bud.

Overfeeding? Im giving them less than the recommended dosages of tiger bloom and big bloom. They look great. I just want to fatten them up and shooting powder is like steroids for buds used in the last 3 weeks of flowering. Im only using a 150w hps so im not expecting monsters but want to do everything i can.

Never heard of shooting powder....do you mean something like GRAVITY? Used to harden buds during the third-to-last week of flower?

Beats me. I think you're using enough in the way of bloom boosters and like you said, with so small a light, your buds aint gonna be big. I suggest not adding anything else--just let em do their thing.

well i use Fox Farm Beastie Blooms and Cha Ching in flowering, they both work wonders, specially if u want thighter, denser nugs and resin add them to ur line of nutrients plus the powder form of A/N Carboload

http://www.house-garden.us/products/additives/shooting-powder/.. Thats shooting powder. Its just like beastie blooms, cha ching, or open sesame. Ive heard great things about it. The advanced nutrient owner pulled their line of the same product cause it was inferior. Im only using 2 of the 5 bloom nutes from fox farm so i thought i was taking it pretty easy. Guess no one uses it?
I doubt any nutrient company would pull anything because they honestly felt it was inferior...they would just repackage it and watch the people buy

Yes shooting powder works amazing for me but going against what I previously stated the additive that Advanced recommends using from H&G product line is the root stimulator not the shooting powder. However It treats me great!

use bud blaster man.. works better than shooting powder and is cheaper. And if your going to use either, i would only at like 1/8th of tsp per gallon.... half strenght to what they say.. Your already using quite a bit... But then again, i don't know what your waters like..... so maybe go get a ppm meter, so you don't fuck urself......

I couldn't disagree with you more. If you spend some time learning and doing comparisons you well find they are the best quality nutes available and the results speak for themselves. Not saying there aren't other good nutes out there but honestly their quality is second to none if you dont know that you'r not educated enough to tell someone about those products sry

Btw shouting powder is awesome however if you'r plant isnt completely healthy or if you have any ph or salt issue you'r just throwing you'r $ away but using it.
